Robert Bonser, 54, has been convicted of violating Pennsylvania Megan’s Law by not registering his address and place of employment as a sex offender, the Pike County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

Bonser, whose last known address is Greentown, had previously been convicted in Monroe County of unlawful contact with a minor. By law, sex offenders in Pennsylvania must register with state police any change of address or place of employment within 48 hours.

Pike County District Attorney Raymond Tonkin presented evidence at trial showing Bonser moved to North Carolina in 2009 from Pike County. In 2011, Bonser returned to the Greentown area and found local employment, but did not register with state police as required.

Bonser faces three to 10 years in state prison and will be sentenced at a future date.
